Metabolic Health

Metabolic conditions are on the rise, and obese horses are at the center of many of these health concerns. Overfeeding and feeding a diet heavy in carbohydrates and sugars as well as a sedentary lifestyle can set horses on a path for unchecked weight gain and the often-resulting metabolic concerns that accompany excess fat. Fortunately, in most cases, obesity can be addressed through diet and exercise. Nutrition is a significant factor in supporting a healthy weight and metabolic state and can be a powerful tool to support metabolic horses.
